£15 is not cheap to sleep on a floor but we won't just be using York House to sleep, will we? We'll be there from early Friday evening until late on Sunday night enjoying the warmth and shelter. We'll have use of a hall for dancing, various rooms for singing and playing and car parking included.

All this is at a commercial rate I presume? My local recently charged me £15 an hour for use of their one function room. Multiply that by say 50 hours and York House is beginning to look very cheap.

No doubt you can go to a folk festival for as cheap as £20 but economies of scale kick in there, there are often grants available and publicans willing to let rooms for free in anticipation of increased sales.

AS for the price being announced late wasn't there a warning SEVERAL weeks ago that it might come to £15 each?
